OPINION: Digital dharma and the zeitgeist

OPINION: Digital dharma and the zeitgeist By Ana VaraBridge Staff WriterPublished Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024 It is Jan. 24 as I begin to write this and the much-awaited Academy Award nominations have finally been announced. Whether you’ve liked Maestro since Bradley Cooper peed his pants in A Star Is Born or saved a Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow edit on your TikTok favorites, today is a big day. Though, like any other day living in a hellscape, our seemingly vacuum-existing opinions have become almost laughably good examples of playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes. I took a class on Hinduism and Buddhist philosophy this past Wintermester with Instructional Assistant Professor Jude Galbraith, and as the aftermath of four straight hours of Abhidharma metaphysics finally gives way...

OPINION: New editor, same Bridge

OPINION: New editor, same Bridge By Juan Carlos PuenteEditor-in-chiefPublished Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2024 Hello, TAMIU! My name is Juan Carlos Puente, newly appointed editor-in-chief for The Bridge.

I’m currently a senior studying communication with a minor in marketing at Texas A&M International University, and am currently set to graduate in December of 2024. Until then, I plan to use all of my power to help elevate The Bridge to new forms of media as well as be as relevant and efficient as possible. Of course, none of this would be possible without the help of the rest of The Bridge st...
